[QUOTE="Lil, post: 727190, member: 17309"] Jumper is a smart girl. I'm sure little Mairu (which I'd pronounce May-ir-oo) will get awfully tired of telling people how to pronounce her name. Mariah is an awfully cute name though...so once you're past the spelling I can see why she picked it. :) The spelling thing is just annoying to me, dealing with children's names [I]all day long[/I] and having to try to pronounce them without offending the parents. Sometimes I manage an entire hearing saying only "The Child" and "Your Daughter/Son" instead of using their names. My mother always told me, with a perfectly serious face, so I think she was NOT joking, that she almost named me [I][B]Sacagawea! [/B][/I] I don't think my father would have gone for it and it would have been a 3rd name - like Jane Rose Sacagawea Smith...but WOW! So there's always one out there worse. My office had a kid named Lucifer after all. [/QUOTE]
